SummitsSummits offer a broad view of how to achieve your goals.

Educational experts share the latest research as well as processes for

enhancing and sustaining the work. These events traditionally include

keynotes from internationally acclaimed authors and offer big-picture

ideas, making them particularly relevant for school boards, district

leaders, building administrators, and teacher leaders.

DIFFERENT FORMATS, DIFFERENT LEARNING

InstitutesInstitutes focus on crucial challenges in education. These events

are especially appropriate for district and/or school teams, since

institutes include keynotes from authors and breakout sessions that go

deeper into the content. Additional features include panel discussions

and role-alike networking groups. Institutes are designed to fi rst

introduce participants to foundational knowledge and then extend and

deepen their understanding throughout the event.

WorkshopsWorkshops offer hands-on training in a small-group setting.

Educators are encouraged to attend as teams and come ready to work

collaboratively. For all workshops, teams receive two days of solutions-

focused learning on a critical topic that they can then share with their

colleagues upon their return. The intimate size of workshops ensures

that teams work closely with Solution Tree experts and receive

personalized support.

RTI is not a series of implementation steps to cross off a list, but a way of thinking about how educators can ensure each child receives the time and support needed to achieve success. This workshop was developed for school teams who have started RTI but are still refi ning processes or experiencing challenges.

Our presenters have worked with hundreds of schools throughout North America and can help your school make RTI effi cient, effective, and equitable. RTI work must be divided between collaborative teacher teams and two schoolwide teams (a leadership team and an intervention team). Together, the entire school assumes responsibility for the learning of every student.

Yes We Can! Raising the Bar and Closing the Gap for All Learners Featuring: Heather Friziellie

December 2–3 Seattle, Washington

As states adopt more rigorous academic standards, schools must determine how to ensure all students—including English learners, children with special needs, children from poverty, and children facing trauma—learn at the highest levels. During this hands-on training, general and special educators will discover how to utilize PLC best practices to develop collaborative partnerships, close achievement gaps, and maximize learning for all.

Response to Intervention at Work™

Featuring: Brian K. Butler or Mike Mattos

November 13–14 Grand Rapids, MichiganNovember 20–21 Houston, Texas

RTI is not a series of implementation steps to cross off a list, but a way of thinking about how educators can ensure each child receives the time and support needed to achieve success. This workshop was developed for school teams who have started RTI but are still refi ning processes or experiencing challenges.

The presenter has worked with hundreds of schools throughout North America and can help your school make RTI effi cient, effective, and equitable. RTI work must be divided between collaborative teacher teams and two schoolwide teams (a leadership team and an intervention team). Together, the entire school assumes responsibility for the learning of every student.


Join Solution Tree’s highly sought-after experts for two days of intensive training. You’ll receive hands-on support and leave with a customized plan for success.
